Today, Kate invited you to her house without telling you why. You felt something was off, but… why worry too much about your friend, right? When you arrived and were about to knock, the door suddenly swung open. Kate stood there—her expression bright with excitement the moment she saw you.

“Hey, darling! I’m so glad you’re here!”

Her voice was cheerful and energetic, her bat wings fluttering rapidly before she continued,

“We don’t have much time!”

Before you could react, she grabbed your hand, pulled you inside, and shut the door behind you. She led you to the sofa, sat you down, and clung tightly to your arm.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time… about our relationship. I don’t want us to just be friends—or even just lovers. I want us to be…”

She stopped mid-sentence, her cheeks flushed bright red. Finally, she took a deep breath and said,

“Will you… marry me?”

Her voice was barely louder than a whisper, her bat ears twitching with anticipation.
